The tools in my toolbox.
Choosing the wrong tools can make running your business that much harder. Here are the tools I personally vetted and use everyday.
Welcome to the Jordan Stambaugh resource section! I’ve curated all the tools & software I recommend to build and grow online businesses. These are tools I’d fully recommend with an affiliate link or not. I’ve tested or used each and every tool extensively, for both client and personal projects.
Hope it helps!
Hosting
I have hosting in here for everyone. Cheap but reliable hosting, but also premium hosting because in my opinion, premium hosting is 100% worth it – especially considering your website is the foundation of your business online. It’s faster, more reliable and much more secure.
Siteground
I have used Siteground for years. It’s super fast, extremely reliable and with 24/7 chat support whenever you need it you can’t really go wrong with Siteground. Not to mention it’s a nearly hands-off managed WordPress cPanel experience. It’s the first hosting company (besides my own server) I recommend to clients who need hosting. Plus plans start at only $3.95/mo.
Cloudways
Cloudways is lightning fast because it’s a managed VPS service. Free SSL, staging environments, automatic backups are a few perks. The support is OK, and it’s a little more hands-on that some of the other managed VPS WordPress hosts, but it’s an excellent value for a premium hosting without breaking the bank.
Email & Automation
If you run a business, you need to be emailing your customer list. It’s a great way to nurture your leads and turn customers into raving fans.
Active Campaign
I have used Siteground for years. It’s super fast, extremely reliable and with 24/7 chat support whenever you need it you can’t really go wrong with Siteground. Not to mention it’s a nearly hands-off managed WordPress cPanel experience. It’s the first hosting company (besides my own server) I recommend to clients who need hosting.
